<div>Thanks for the email; the minutes were amusing and altogether helpful! </div>
<div> </div>
<div> We are looking forward to hosting the next swap at our home, The T'Burg Yellow House, on the 15th! Maybe some of this could make its way onto the poster/flyer?: We're on Mount Road, which is just 2.5 miles outside of "downtown" Trumansburg. Tarps, picnic blankets, tables and all sorts of spots will be laid out on the lawn. Parking is along the driveway & near the barns. Be sure to save time for visiting some choice Main St. businesses when you're out this way: The Rongovian Embassy to the United States (under new ownership and is rejuvenated once again), One Green Horse used book store, Sundrees, The Pourhouse, Windflower Herb and Beauty (an herbal/ all natural/ organic day spa) our cute little Gimme! shop, and the Hazelnut Kitchen, of course. </div>
<div> </div>
<div>Much Love and Thanks,</div>
<div> </div>

<br>Decisions Made (using informal consensus):<br>1. We will aim for one event per month for the next year!<br>2. By the time of an event, we will aim to lock down the date for the next month's event.<br>3. We will explore current trading/time bank websites and recommend one or more for use by the Share Tompkins (ST) community.<br>
4. We will invite Community Dispute Resolution Center (CDRC) to table and offer mediation to people who need it while making barter arrangements.<br>5. Shira will create a how-to guide for events.<br>6. At events, we will have a sign-up board for hosting future events.<br>
<br>Minutes:<br>- Shira presents consensus and how it works.<br>- Frank explains ST to newcomers.<br>- Shira summarizes accomplishments of first year of ST, started May 2009 including website.<br>- Franks suggests creating a how-to guide so others can organize swaps and Really Really Free Markets (RRFM) in other places around the region and beyond.<br>
- Sebastian suggests we branch out to other parts of Tompkins County and we can send an organizer as an advisor to facilitate.<br>- Greg suggests the time bank idea and mentions Steve Austin, someone who is exploring this concept locally.<br>
- Shira explains that there are already a number of websites that facilitate trading/bartering and the time bank concept and we need to assess them and recommend one or more to the ST community.<br>- Sebastian suggests that ST organizers provide more guidance for new swappers.<br>
- Frank recommends communicating really clearly what you are offering and what you expect when making a swap.<br>- Danielle suggests inviting the Community Dispute Resolution Center to help mediate swaps.<br>- Sebastian would like to set a date for the next organizers meeting.<br>
- Danielle starts to facilitate locking down the dates/locations for the next 4 ST events.<br>- McKenzie will organize May 15th swap in Trumansburg at Evie and Jay's place.<br>- Phoebe volunteers to host 1 of the next 3 swaps at her home in Newfield.<br>
- Danielle has been in touch with the Alternatives Credit Union about hosting a RRFM in their parking lot.<br>- Sebastian would like to do a RRFM in Dewitt park and has visited City Hall and knows about the permitting process.<br>
- Greg suggests doing a RRFM in May to tie in w/ the end of the college school year.<br>- Sebastian points out that we might not be able to handle the amount of stuff left behind by students.<br>- Shira suggests we do a ST dumpster dive on campus.<br>
- We set the dates and locations for the next 3 events: May 15th Swap Meet in Trumansburg at Evie and Jay's place w/ McKenzie as co-organizer, June 26th or 27th RRFM in Alternatives Credit Union parking lot co-organized by Danielle and Greg and Ari will make poster, July 17th Swap Meet in Newfield at Phoebe and Mateo's place w/ Danielle as co-organizer.<br>
- Danielle suggests using Twitter to promote ST events.<br>- Shira suggests having an organizers meeting to focus on web strategies including twitter, facebook, the ST website, etc.<br>- Sebastian and Frank volunteer to co-organize RRFM on August 21 or 28, ideally at Dewitt Park.<br>

- We all like going around in the circle at the beginning of Swap Meets.<br>- Danielle recommends social media tools.<br>- Shira suggests having sign-up board at events where people can volunteer to host future events.<br>
